Update 🌟
What an amazing morning we've had, we are astounded by how many families have come along today. We’re so pleased to share that the Potty pick up has been incredibly popular meaning we’ve temporarily run out of stocks. 😊
Limited stocks of more Potty Packs will be available from Thursday 26th (These will be available whilst stocks last.)
Thank you for your patience and for making this initiative such a success. 💛

Don't worry if you cant make it we are planning potty pickups on tour across our Family Hubs.
Keep checking this page for dates.

Thinking about potty training?

Pop into our Family Hubs at Barnsley Market from Monday (23rd February) and pick up your FREE potty training pack! It'll include everything you need to get started.

Choose either a potty OR a potty training seat and step.

All we ask is that you’re a Family Hub member already— or you become a family hub member when you pick your pack up.

Mini Megs is…GOOD!🌟
I can finally share the news that I was rated GOOD on my first inspection. The children present on the day of my inspection were amazing, I am proud of all my children!💛
Here are some comments from my inspection report:

“The atmosphere is ‘home from home’, a welcoming environment where children thrive. Children are happy and settled in the care of the warm and friendly childminder.”

“The childminder is a very positive role model
and consistently demonstrates that she has high expectations for children’s behaviour and conduct.”

“Children behave very well during their time with the childminder. They demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning and play”

“The childminder understands the importance of working in partnership with her families and has built secure trusting relationships with all her parents.”

“The childminder continues her professional development across a broad platform of providers. This has a positive impact on the quality of her teaching.”

We are all excited to celebrate Nursery Rhyme week!🧵🚎🕷️🐑🎣

One corner of the playroom is ready for Halloween and the other corner is ready for our new little friends!👻🎃👶🏼🍼

Today me and the children have enjoyed relaxing in our new little home corner🤍📔☕️

The children have been learning about the Colour Monster to help them understand and communicate how they feel🙂☹️

Some of our friends are starting big school in September and others have recently become big brothers/sisters so the Colour Monsters are helping us to understand all of our new feelings!📚👶🏼

Barnsley Family Hubs are hosting an Easter fun day next Sunday (13th of April) at the Town Hall!🐣🌷
